Split the completion of events into a two part process: 1) Reap the events inside the queue lock 2) Complete the events outside the queue lock Since we never wrap the queue, we can access it locklessly after we've updated the completion queue head. This patch started off with batching events on the stack, but with this trick we don't have to. Keith Busch <keith.busch@intel.com> came up with that idea. Note that this kills the ->cqe_seen as well. I haven't been able to trigger any ill effects of this. If we do race with polling every so often, it should be rare enough NOT to trigger any issues.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
